KOMBUCHA

 I would first like to thank Lisa Hofstra-Johnson for taking the time to show us how to make this crazy stuff!!!  And a special thank you to Kristen McQuade for inviting me along!!

  

 

 

I remember tasting Kombucha for the first time and thinking this was one of the most disgusting things I have ever put in my mouth.....with that said, I will say it is something that grows on you!!!The shot above is my mixture of organic tea, sugar, and a scoby brewing.

 

(Above) Every time you do a batch a second scoby grows....So if you need one let me know!  I got a few extras floating around!!  The scoby is the part of the process that adds all of the nutrients, bacteria, and yeast to the brewing process.

After waiting 10ish days you can bottle!  I did three flavors.....Ginger/Lemon, Cranberry/Orange, and Lavender/Ginger.  I used juice, extracts, and herbs to flavor the Kombucha.

 

Popping the bottles helps.....or they might explode!!!

 

After about 5 days you can put them in the fridge and drink!  I'm still working on the flavoring part, but overall they are pretty tasty!!!!
